Rapid Turnaround Time and Phenomenal Customer Service

PROS

It's not required that you hire a programmer to design and implement eCRFs with this system. The training and customer service team is so incredibly helpful. I was able to turn around an entire study's EDC setup within 3 weeks of getting contracts signed.

CONS

Each time I've identified a pain point or a feature that I would like or wanted to work better, it was updated in the next release. I don't currently have any unmet needs.

Vendor Response

Our team is happy to hear you've been pleased with our customer support and that you were able to accelerate your study startup. We always appreciate your feedback on the platform and hope to support any of your future studies! - Your Partners in Research, The Crucial Data Solutions Team

TrialKit - Leadership that is transforming the biotechnology industry

Wonderful! I know that sounds short, but it really has been a system that I have grown to appreciate and enjoy working within. The tech support and staff at TrialKIt are also a primary reason for my choice to go with TrialKit. Working with TrialKit allows the versatility to have a solution for my clients where I can contour the system to meet their needs.

PROS

Answered in previous section with regards to system performance

CONS

The only improvement I would recommend is the add the capability to schedule jobs to automatically generate reports and send them to a sFTP.

Reasons for switching to TrialKit

TrialKit is a more reliable system and is keeping pace with cutting industry technology.

Vendor Response

Hello Stephen, Many thanks for your kind review of TrialKit and for choosing to work with us! We greatly appreciate your business and partnership. We look forward to supporting you and your clients' needs as time goes on! - Your Partners in Research, The Crucial Data Solutions Team

Full of Bad, Buggy Programming

Dealing with Clinical Studio and, by extension, the support staff has been a lesson in abject frustration. It is one of the most bug-filled, poorly written programs I have ever had to deal with. At this point though, I have poured hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars into setting up our data management within Clinical Studio, so it's essentially too late to switch to a competing EDC. No doubt many users are in a similar position to my own, allowing Clinical Studio to offer such a sub-par product with little to no repercussions.

PROS

At first I believed Clinical Studio was rather flexible and had lots of functionality. Unfortunately, the more I've used it, the more I've discovered that it is full of undocumented limitations (such as certain Conditional Logic types not working with certain Field types, for no clear reason) as well as hollow functionality (such as a button to copy and paste Conditional Logic from one Field to another Field in the TrialKit, though the button doesn't actually work).

CONS

The fact that most of the bugs and problems that I've run into with Clinical Studio are not new, yet are still not fixed, is infuriating. Often, when I contact support they tell me that they've seen the issue I'm describing in the past, and suggest a work-around for it. This "solution" only addresses the symptom, not the underlying problem (bugs in the developers' programming), and does nothing to prevent the issue from happening to myself or someone else in the future.

Vendor Response

Craig, Thank you for the feedback in this review. As President of Crucial Data Solutions I take all feedback seriously and view it as a learning opportunity for our company. I also appreciate you taking time to speak with me on the phone last week upon first learning about your frustrations. I've shared our conversation with our team and I know everyone is committed to providing you with more insight, support and guidance that I expect will have a positive effect on your experience with CDS. With over 10,000 global users and overwhelming positive feedback, your situation is an outlier for us. Software inherently has bugs and challenges; how we address them is what we've been lauded for by the majority of our customer base. Unfortunately, we haven't done an adequate job in your case, so I plan to be personally involved to make sure we can set you up for success. I look forward to supporting you moving forward and to a successful launch of your upcoming study. Jeff Rogers

GREAT Tool for Web Based, Mobile, and Wearable Clinical Trial Data!

We've been able to tap into the world of mobile and wearable technology in clinical research!

PROS

Clinical Studio and TrialKit have helped FUEL Studios, Inc. provide even more great tools for our clients. The feature we like most about this platform is the native ability to run on Smartphones, Tablets, and Wearables as an App. It creates a fast and intuitive experience for sponsors, clinicians, and patients. The user interface is modern, and fun for users to use from any location. The Clinical Studio support team has been great to work with too! They have always supported our team in numerous ways, and eagerly receive our suggestions for software improvements. Good people. We're thrilled to have this platform as one of the solutions we can offer to our clients!

CONS

Though this platform has the ability to create reports and easily pull data, we're hoping to see the complexity of these features grow. For example, creating graphical reports or reports with calculations. We're also hoping we could easily query all study and system data to find specific situations. In the times when we need more, it is very easy to export data to work with outside reporting tools. Or, ask the support team for further information!

Vendor Response

Hi Jerry, thank you for such a wonderful review! It's exciting for us to see our mobile and wearable technology be put to use in studies as it continues to become a growing tool in the clinical research industry. We're grateful for your feedback. Because of customers like you, we're able to add valuable enhancements to Clinical Studio and TrialKit, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for new reporting features very soon! - Your Partners in Research, The Crucial Data Solutions Team

Review of TrialKit

Overall, TrialKit is a great product. With it's ease of use, time from study start to go live is a smaller window of time than other software I have worked with. Customer Support is quick to respond with professional, personal care taken to address any issues I encounter throughout the life of my studies.

PROS

As a study builder, I have found TrialKit easy to use from study start up through archival. Form building, study visit schedule set-up and conditional action programming are fairly quick and user friendly. Also, if needed, online help information is concise and thorough. The process to go live, migrate to an updated version and lock/archive are simple to perform and navigate.

CONS

One feature that could use improvement is Report Builder. Currently, it is not robust enough to generate custom reports of data in the system. It is mostly a data dump and it would be nice to have some added features where the user could add logic to the reports to give the customer a better and more robust output of their data.

Vendor Response

Hi Alice, Thanks so much for taking the time to review TrialKit. It's wonderful to hear you've found the platform easy to use and beneficial to your study start-up processes. We value your feedback on the Report Builder; as a technology company, we're constantly working to deliver the most efficient and effective technology available to the markets we serve. The input we receive from our users allows us to continue enhancing TrialKit and the overall experience for users everywhere. - Your Partners in Research, The Crucial Data Solutions Team
